Observational study in JNMA; journal of the Nepal Medical Association, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Introduction: Quality of life is a crucial dimension of overall wellbeing, particularly for frontline health workers whose roles involve high responsibility and exposure to occupational stressors. This study aimed to describe the quality of life and selected related characteristics among frontline health workers in selected federal-level government hospitals in Nepal. Methods: A descriptive, cross-sectional study was conducted among 460 participants selected through systematic random sampling. Data were collected using the WHOQOL-BREF tool for quality of life, the PHQ-9 for depressive symptoms, the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale, and a work stress questionnaire. Ethical approval was obtained from the Nepal Health Research Council. Results: Out of 400 respondents, 189 (48.25%) of frontline health workers reported average or low quality of life. Depressive symptoms were present in 104 (26%) of respondents, 239 (59.75%) experienced high work-related stress, and 205 (51.25%) respondents reported low self-esteem. Conclusions: The findings indicate that a considerable proportion of frontline health workers experience lower levels of quality of life, with notable burdens of stress and depressive symptoms. Workplace policies focusing on reasonable working hours, adequate staffing, and supportive environments are needed to promote well-being and job satisfaction.
